If your laptop has a wireless card in it(which most do) just get a router and hook it up the desktop and run the laptop wirelessly.Answer by candyberrys20
Call your internet provider and ask them do they provide the wirles router to connect your other computer,
Or if you have dial up and have a router just add another cord to it and the network should add it ,,
If i didnt help just call .
Answer by KayYou will need a router for sure. If you go the wireless route you need to pick up wireless adapters for your computers. Otherwise you’ll have to run cables from your wired router to each of the computers and that could end up being a pain in the ass.Answer by vistal1
yes buy a wireless router and card if your laptop doesn have it.. follow the instructions very closely . I suggest Lynksys G at least if you can afford it i by a N router , faster and further distance . If you live by alot of people also set a wep encryption up so they can not jack your internet connection LIKE a few people Inthe Answer section are trying to do .Answer by G. Whilikers
Check your cable modem to see if it already has extra Ethernet jacks and/or wireless built in. If it has neither, or you would like to avoid running a cable down the hall, a wireless router and a card (or two) might be a good investment.Answer by Sticky
You may only have to get the router seeing as you got a modem on the other. I am assuming this is for a wireless.
